I had an apartment on the 3rd floor. Everytime I looked out the window. I had 2 shadows sitting on a bench across the street. :rofl2: When I left the apartment. I would put little pieces of paper on my door and widows. If the paper was moved. Then I knew someone had paid me a visit. Used to pull the window blinds closed at night. Hang a woman mannequin from the ceiling with a fan blowing on it to get it some movement plus a light shining on it so the shadow would be on the blinds. Then I would slip out of the apartment though the basement. :rofl2:

Big thing with women over there at the time was blue jeans and panty hose. Every trip over. I would have a suitcase full of that stuff for exchange.

How are you not incredibly impatient? :shakes head:

The meds he's on, puts him in lala land.

Bahahahahha. “Stars are beautiful”

He said no drugs...

I guess it must just be his mental "health" that puts him in lala land :icon17:

LOL, I have a gift from the gods. But when my patience runs out, look out. You will not want to be anywhere near me.

Beside,
I did a work all day, come home take a 45min nap, and back to work at 11:30. I got home at 5:00am this morning. Fixed my well pump, and was in bed at 6:00am or so. I have been busy.

Think of all the other stuff you could've done if you didn't take that 45 min nap.

Still working on the tune. No numbers yet. Guess you guys will have to wait just like me.

I don't believe you ...

Trial and Error
It took Carl a few times on the Dyno for mine - first breaking the motor in and then seeing where it was at on pump gas.
He started to make adjustments to see what the motor liked.
He changed out the waste gate spring until he found the right one -seeing that the boost would be on spring pressure for 93 octane.
After the pump gas tune he did the same with E85 and 3 more boost settings for the E85.
Took him a few weeks (somewhat) before it was finished
They did discover that on pump gas and low boost the AAM I/C would heat soak at regular driving speeds - no boost (full bypass)
My tune did take awhile with some delays and I never did get to find out how much power it made on pump gas. That info was lost in the mass of information in Daelens folder for my car when he left.
Sorry to see him go, but his wife was in the Army and she elected not to re-enlist due to an upcoming reassignment.
They decided to head back to home and family in Minnesota.
Soooo --- Each Tune is different --- it might take a little bit of tweaking until Carl is satisfied with yours.

I am good with Carl taking his time with my car. No issues from me. The deadline is getting close though. It's gonna be what it is going to be.

Yep cheaper to do it right the first time. But I’m still religiously checking the forum for update on this, even tho I am on family vacation lol

Don't expect any updates until Thursday/Friday of this week. That is when Carl will be back on the job.

When we hung out with the State people they would leave cigarette butts in their ashtrays. We also traded PX Levi's for crystal and swiss cutlery.

Houston, we have a problem. The tuning was going well last Friday at 10-11psi of boost. Making in the 550hp range. He then started to turn up the boost and the motor didn't respond. Turned it up 5psi of boost and it only made 5 more hp. So, Carl stopped and pulled the car off the dyno. They will be doing a bunch of double checks on the timing today. I hope they find the issue. Building and modifying cars is not always peaches and creme. SNAFU, it is my car. This is par for the coarse. I may not make it to Zdayz with it. No worries, plan B will be implemented. Not real happy at the moment but sheit happens.

Sorry to hear that, hang in there man, you know it will be worth it in the end

Yeah, I should have bought a 2019 ZR1 Corvette and called it a day.

At least it happen on the dyno

What pains me the most is knowing that I physically can't do the work anymore. This car would have never left the house otherwise. That just makes me fighting mad. Just helping you pull your exhaust, changing the oil in my truck, and washing the wife's car did me in this weekend. Just walking yesterday was a challenge.

Damn man, wish I lived closer I’d help you out

He didn't do crap. I told him to make his way over to your car and snag that pimp fuel filter and he came to my house with nothing. Oh!!

He knew better. Didn't want to end up in the hog pit being eaten alive by hogs.

Lol, I wud of never been found

:icon18:

Best place to dump a dead body is in a hog pen. The hogs will eat everything. :eek:

Wish you had better news to report. :(. Hopefully it's something simple. :tup:

I have no idea. I didn't message or call them today. Will do the same tomorrow, etc. I am going to Zdayz and have fun. Call me when it's fixed. I need a vacation. Only question I have for them is this, "Do you need a match"....

Mine made about 500 whp (don't have the exact number) on 11 ~ 13 lbs of boost on pump gas with the Borg Warner 71/63's
Again, sorry I don't have the exact numbers - Daelen had relayed this info to me from his recollection of a conversation with Carl when he was doing the pump gas Tune.

Daelen also told me that they stop increasing the boost when it makes less than 10 whp per 1 lb of boost increase.

The law of diminishing returns --- no significant performance gain but the risk to the motor significantly increases.

I'm still dialing in the car (and my driving skills) on pump gas before I go E85.

What am I gonna do with these XL “Depends” :ugh2:
I can bring them for Russ :icon17:

They're too big for me. You can save them for later.

You'll want to shave excess hair and remove any teeth. They aren't good for the pig's digestive system :twocents:

They will eat bone.

I am sure you will need them for the Vette ride. LOL

Teeth are not bone... they need to be removed. Trust me :ugh:

After they go through a wood chipper, who cares. :rofl2:

I was just clarifying ... if you want your pigs to be able to continue to devour human corpses efficiently then you'll want to shave the excess hair and remove the teeth before feeding them.

If you use a wood chipper, then of course it can handle everything. But you'll still have a lot of leftovers :twocents: And it's messy af. Have you seen Fargo?

Enough with the hog posts. LOL I shouldn't have mentioned it to you characters.

That's what I had in mind. Only direct the discharge into the hog pen. :eek:

:rofl2:

Timing chains are good to go. Checking VVEL now.
